    Second Round of Exercise Boosts Muscle Growth in Mice, Study Finds

    Overview: A Surprising Twist in Muscle Memory A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign suggests that a second round of exercise after a short break can trigger greater muscle growth than a first round. In mice that freely ran on an exercise wheel for four weeks, paused for four weeks, and then ran…

    Muscle memory in action: a second exercise round boosts mouse growth

    Muscle memory in action: a second exercise round boosts muscle growth A new study in mice suggests that a second bout of voluntary wheel running, after a four-week pause, can provoke greater muscle growth than the initial training. The research, published in the American Journal of Physiology: Cell Physiology, found that the second round led…
